The Institute for Network Cultures is awesome!

Do they do this every year? or was this a suprise?
good luck and I hope you have a highly productive winter camp! :)

Thanks Tony…I feel like a bit idiot now. I have to either scrub the timeline VERY slowly or playback the animation but you are right, they're there.

Anyway, thanks again Blender folks!

@a different Tom,

You should ask this at blenderartists.org/forum for a proper answer/discussion. However, the new particle system should not need to be baked just to see it work. Ordinary emitter particles should be just as easy to set up as in the old system. I'm wondering if you don't have a graphics card issue. Otherwise, I'm not sure what the instant feedback problem might be.

Hey, I have a question that I've been thinking about for a little while now.

Particles got an overhaul, aren't backwards compatible, and now need baking to even see. My question is mostly due to having no idea how the new system works and the lack of instant feedback.

Since they aren't backwards compatible, is it possible to ditch the attempt to adapt to the new system and get a the old particle instant feedback integrated?

On a more related note, I had an old computer sitting around, fired it up the other day looking for something that might have been on it. I totally forgot I had put Blender on it. Version 2.12. I am absolutely amazed at how far Blender has come from 2.12 to 2.48. I even have a copy of 1.73 floating around. I think that was the one where I wrote Blender off as being much too difficult to learn.

Thank you all who have made Blender what is it for all your hard work and dedication.
